Morphology
The meaning 'at intervals of three months' is directly derivable from combining 'every' (each) with 'quarter' (a fourth part or a three-month time segment), so a learner who knows both words can infer the time interval. This quantifier + temporal noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English composition, making it transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Every quarter comes from dividing the year into four equal parts, like cutting a cake so each 'quarter' is three months long. So saying every quarter means 'once every three months'.
